For the very first time i tried to selfhost a static site (lighttpd + duckdns) but I’ve failed… Is it even possible to selfhost a static site from “router 2” while i’m behind two routers? “Router 1” is from ISP and i have no possibility to change any settings except subnet, standard gateway, dhcp on/off and DMZ. -> no port forwarding. "Router 2 is Asus with port-forwarding available and i’m using an OpenVPN configuration on it (if that matters). DuckDNS could see the external ip from R2, but i couldn’t access it.

    You’re going to get double NAT’d if you don’t have a proper passthrough. Is there a specific reason you have two routers setup like this?

      Probably because the ISP modem/router has limited capability.

      I’ve done 2 routers like this for years (out of laziness more than anything) because cable modem router suck from a capability standpoint.

        The actual cable modem can run in passthrough mode though. Look up the model and find the docs. Should be a quick and easy change, or your ISP at least should able to change it. It would be absurd if not.
